Barcelona are back in action on Saturday afternoon as the Spanish champions head to Levante looking to stay top of La Liga.
Lionel Messi was at his irrepressible best on Tuesday night with two goals and two assists in a 5-1 demolition of Real Valladolid to send Barca top of the table.
Barca are finding their groove following a slow start to the season, but with Real Madrid just a point behind, Ernesto Valverde's men must keep winning to set the standard.
